I much prefer Kawada vs. Sasaki over Kobashi/Sasaki as the epic Tokyo Dome slugfest. Kobashi/Akiyama is awesome if you can get over the no selling. It might be damnedest heavyweight spotfest I've ever seen.

re: Official Puro Match/DVD Discussion Thread (NO SPOILERS)

I must be the only one who wasn't blown away by that match then. And Seabs i'm pretty dissipointed in your rating for #19 since I felt that was one of if not the best tag match of 2007 but then again it is your rating.

But i'm still calling you out therefore you are wrong because me ego and e-cred is the strongest force in the universe behind Hulkamania and male pattern baldness.

And ironic that someone makes a Puro discussion thread while i'm taking a break from watching it, but fear not the day will come when Andy3000 and I speak at length about our love for Dicks. Dicks we in fact cannot get enough of.

If i recall correctly, finishing stretch, KENTA has to catch Marufuji off the top rope for a GTS, doesn't quite work, so they do a quick punch-kick thing and visibly repeat the spot for a near fall.
It's not a big deal, but you know that if they got it the match would've been even better, so the full five feels a bit...wrong.
And i actually like the match so much i feel bad for not going 5* on it...

Nah, there were plenty of people over at puroresufan i believe that considered it the most overrated match ever.

Yeah the spot where KENTA drops Marafuji after he comes off the top rope is slightly botched. I'm in the same boat as GP on it. I tossed between going the full 5 or not but for whatever reason I restrained from it. It's a fucking amazing match though.
